Sue's Gallery Cafe

My favorite cafe in the area serving phenomenal cream puffs and coffee. We’re very picky about the way our coffee is made and it’s done really well every time we’re here. Best cream puffs in the Bay Area, highly recommend. The space has lots of seating, indoors and outdoors. There’s a secondary space next door to the service area with tables and chairs for working. Lots of ceramic pieces on display in the gallery. Plugs are available if you sit near one. It can get busy on weekends, but the traffic comes and goes. Service is great, staff are very nice. Easy access to restrooms and parking.

If happiness had an address, I’m pretty sure it would be Sue's Gallery Cafe. I stopped in thinking I’d act like a calm, mature adult who just wanted a coffee. Instead, I immediately forgot how to behave the moment I saw the pastry case. I made the kind of eye contact with a scone that usually only happens in romantic movies. The cafe itself feels like the cool, artsy friend you wish you had in high school, effortlessly stylish but not intimidating. There’s art everywhere, cozy seating, and the kind of atmosphere that tricks you into believing you are a creative person. I seriously considered starting a novel while I was there. The coffee woke me up so effectively that for about 20 minutes I believed I could run a marathon, learn French, and reorganize my entire closet. I did none of tho

I liked the atmosphere of this café and its location is nice. However, the presentation lacked attention to detail. The espresso was served without a spoon, and the sparkling water came in a paper cup. I also came specifically for the affogato and was surprised to find out they no longer offer it. That said, the staff were wonderful. I especially appreciated the barista who prepared my second drink — she took care with the latte art after noticing I pay attention to details, even though she mentioned it would be more difficult with oat milk instead of regular milk. Despite the presentation issue, I will definitely come back. It’s still worth revisiting.

Boosting the stars on this place — they deserve more! Service was quick and friendly. Super cute ambiance, great vibes on a Saturday morning. :) I had the spinach feta pastry (simple and delicious) and my partner had the GF rose pistachio cake… yum! Such a uniquely flavored treat for breakfast. The baristas clearly know what they’re doing; my cappuccino was perfectly crafted and the Gesha pour over was *muah* chefs kiss!

Great coffee and snack options. Recommending charcoal coffee and other coffee specialities. An ideal place to work and enjoy coffee at the same time. Not too many food options.
